Totlol: The New Saturday Morning Cartoons
Posted on November 01, 2008 at 11:09 AM EDT
If you have kids and Nickelodeon (or Nickelodeon.com) just doesn't cut it for you all the time, tune into Totlol . It's children's Web video for the children of the YouTube generation. In fact, Totlol was built by one developer in Vancouver, B.C. (Ron Ilan, father of two) entirely on the YouTube platform. It is a collection of thousands of child-appropriate video clips from YouTube, chosen by parents, and rated by toddlers. Totlol uses the YouTube API and reskins all the videos with its own player (much like we do with Elevator Pitches ). Viewers can rate and collect videos. Collections act like playlists. Plop your child in front of the computer, and it plays all the way through (not that I would ever do that, of course).
